Thanks for your reply. This is one of the approaches that might help.
There might be tow other approaches? One is to generate IP packets
according to a parametric stochastic process. The other is to generate
packets by simulating the real users. I am not sure if there are any
other approaches? Is there any good evalution of all the approaches?
Is there any available packages for these two approaches? Thanks.
